Warren County approves $1,300 annual maintenance plan with Fairmont Doors for overhead garage doors
Summary
Warren County meeting approved a $1,300-per-year maintenance contract with Fairmont Doors to inspect and maintain overhead garage doors after recent breakdowns; the purchase followed an interim $400 repair and passed on a voice vote after a motion and second.
Warren County officials voted to enroll their facility doors in an annual maintenance plan with Fairmont Doors after staff described repeated opener problems and a recent $400 replacement.
Staff reported that a local vendor, W Bash Overhead, attempted to repair bearings on a failing opener but deemed the machine too worn to accept new parts. The county then contracted Fairmont Doors, which installed a heavier opener for $400 and inspected other doors. According to the staff member, Fairmont offered a maintenance program that would catalog each door and provide year-round service for $1,300.
A county member moved to enroll in the maintenance program; the motion was seconded by Committee member Ethan and approved by voice vote when the chair called for those in favor. The transcript records the group approving the program, with the speaker noting it would reduce repeated call-outs during winter, when door activity increases.
"They put it in. They were there. While they're there, Matt had a problem. They went over and checked Matt's problem. Real happy with the guys," the staff member said, describing the vendor's work.
The staff member recommended the maintenance plan as a way to reduce future downtime and repeated emergency repairs. No contract number or exact implementation date was specified in the meeting record. The county proceeded with the plan and moved on to other operational items.
Next steps recorded in the meeting: staff will proceed with the purchase and schedule service under the Fairmont Doors maintenance program; no additional budget vote was recorded in the transcript.
